Accelerating high-order WENO schemes using two heterogeneous GPUs

Very-high-order weno schemes

We study WENO(2r-1) reconstruction [Balsara D., Shu C.W.: J. Comp. Phys. 160 (2000) 405–452], with the mapping (WENOM) procedure of the nonlinear weights [Henrick A.K., Aslam T.D., Powers J.M.: J. Comp. Phys. 207 (2005) 542–567], which we extend up to WENO17 (r = 9). We find by numerical experiment that these procedures are essentially nonoscillatory without any stringent CFL limitation (CFL ∈ ...

High-Order Energy Stable WENO Schemes

A new third-order Energy Stable Weighted Essentially NonOscillatory (ESWENO) finite difference scheme for scalar and vector linear hyperbolic equations with piecewise continuous initial conditions is developed. The new scheme is proven to be stable in the energy norm for both continuous and discontinuous solutions. In contrast to the existing highresolution shock-capturing schemes, no assumptio...

High Order Weno Finite Volume Schemes Using Polyharmonic Spline Reconstruction

Polyharmonic splines are utilized in the WENO reconstruction of finite volume discretizations, yielding a numerical method for scalar conservation laws of arbitrary high order. The resulting WENO reconstruction method is, unlike previous WENO schemes using polynomial reconstructions, numerically stable and very flexible. Moreover, due to the theory of polyharmonic splines, optimal reconstructio...

Resolution of high order WENO schemes for complicated flow structures

In this short note we address the issue of numerical resolution and efficiency of high order weighted essentially nonoscillatory (WENO) schemes for computing solutions containing both discontinuities and complex solution features, through two representative numerical examples: the double Mach reflection problem and the Rayleigh–Taylor instability problem. We conclude that for such solutions wit...

High-Order Central WENO Schemes for 1D Hamilton-Jacobi Equations

High-Order Central WENO Schemes for Multidimensional Hamilton-Jacobi Equations

We present new thirdand fifth-order Godunov-type central schemes for approximating solutions of the Hamilton–Jacobi (HJ) equation in an arbitrary number of space dimensions. These are the first central schemes for approximating solutions of the HJ equations with an order of accuracy that is greater than two. In two space dimensions we present two versions for the third-order scheme: one scheme ...
